Bowl Season Open Thread: The Champs Sports, Texas, And Emerald Bowls

We get a trio of games tonight and our first of two NFL Network games. We’ve got Charles “Mangina” Davis, we’ve got Mike Patrick, and we’ve got Chris Spielman! It’s going to be a great night. Leave your picks and quotes in the comments and I’ll be updating below the previews. Hopefully we’ll have as much fun as we did last night….Cheers!

During the ESPN Bowl Rundown, the first words from Lou Holtz concerning the Champs Bowl- ‘It’s 80 degrees and not a breath of fresh air.” (Via Gibbon Jockey)

I’m really upset that Lou isn’t doing a pep talk for any of these games. That’s a travesty.

“Collander on the carry.”- Mike Patrick

It’s CALendar…..like well a CALendar.

“The offensive line for BC was just over on the sideline after that last punt getting absolutely hammered…(too long of a pause)…by the BC coaching staff.”- Holly Rowe (Via Time For 11)

How many Holly Rowe reports are they going to do in the first half? I think were at 6 now….the last one even included a Brett Favre impression.

“The blow was delivered a little lower.”- Mike Patrick

“You mentioned both those picks that Ryan threw. Both coming from Jamie Silva.”- Rece Davis

Unless MSU and BC made a trade that’s physically impossible Rece.

“They came from ahead to lose.”- Brad Sham

“He had it on the tip.”- Mike Patrick

“You have an I-Pod and an I-Phone?”- Todd Blackledge“Anything with an I in it I have it. If they come out with an I-Car I’m buying it.”- Mike Patrick“Do you have Britney Spears on that I-Pod?”- Todd Blackledge“No………….although I hear she might be renting out that double wide to a family member.”- Mike Patrick

WINNER! Video in 15.
